In the los angeles area and have to lift the nozzle up and hold it the entire time im pumping otherwise it will click off instantly.
I wouldnt doubt its some bs regulation causing it in cali |

No problems in Kansas sounds like a car or fuel station issue?

I have never had a problem with the capless. I just put it in and take it out gently. Just enough to make it stay. I do wish the cover was locking.

I like the spit idea, have never had to used it on my car though. Heading to Sebring Sat with Chin Motorsports, any of you Florida guys heading there?

Mine does this sometimes.
Either it was worse when I first got the car or I've been getting better at the technique with all my practice filling up the ZL1. A month after I got the car google added my local gas station next to home and work for my frequent stops... What I do is push the nozzle in a little bit and lift it up and out, seems to do the trick. |

There are lots of videos on YouTube of people with stuck fuel pumps. Most seem to be Fords. Even 1 news report I found about a stuck pump that required the fire department to come out to help remove it. So something is definitely up with these capless systems and certain types of pump nozzles.
Here is a 2018 Dodge Ram where it gets stuck: Here is the news report: A Ford: McLaren forum posts about the issue: https://www.mclarenlife.com/forums/m...stuck-car.html There is apparently some flap inside the fuel tube that can get stuck on some fuel pump nozzles. I've tried to only use pumps where the nozzle seems to be perfectly smooth, but I've even had some of those get stuck. I've had zero issues at our local Costco, so I try to use that when I can. But I'm not always on that side of town when I need gas.

Spray them with a water hose when they get stuck.

I remembered back when I was in HS someone put water down my gas tank in my GTO. I bought a locking cap and have been paranoid about that stuff ever since. Now here I am with a 70k car and no way to prevent that from happening again. Also, to stay on topic - I’ve never had a problem with the pump getting stuck.

Wonder how that would work here in Oregon where we are not allowed to pump our own gas. Attendants would be coming up asking how to remove it LoL, I would prob joke around saying the beast is hungry, its trying to eat the hose too !

I have a problem with certain pumps clicking off before I can get any gas in it. I’ve learned now which pumps at my favorite station will work. Still it’s a PITA.
